Which is assuming that there's "slots" to be filled if they don't come out with repaints.

Not true, by using repaints, they in turn gain more profit by re-using already paid for molds. This in turn allows more money for new figures. Repaints in a box set also don't take slots away from single carded figures, he preferred method of release for most.

The only thing that upsets me about the five pack is that the troops aren't the same colors as the single carded figures. This would keep the uniform similar for army builders like myself, as well as supplement the numbers of troops I'm seeking. With an officer i could add a squad leader, and have the benefit of a BAT. The Cobra Commander and the Duke figures could be used for customs or traded away.
To me, the Resolute figures are the best "new" figures ever released for GI Joe since i first became enamored with them as a child. I have never looked forward to a set of figures like i have with these Resolute figures. I love the close to real life military look and feel while keeping within some of the fun fantasy that GI Joe throws in every once and a while.

Repaints do not bother me if they make sense (Tiger Force, Brazil Mission, Night Force, other special mission) repacking the same freaking figure in a different package on the other hand infuriates me to no end!

I don't think there have been nearly as many repaints as new figures since the start of the 25th anniversary line. Does anybody have a breakdown of this?

Just use the different colored Troopers as Vehicle Drivers.
